With Ty Burrell, Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais starring, it’s guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

From the director of Stuart Little, Mr Peabody and Sherman is the hilarious tale of a genius named Mr Peabody (who also happens to be a dog) his adopted son, Sherman, and a time travel machine called the WABAC.

Born with only half his stripes, Khumba is rejected by his fellow zebras. On a mission to prove his worth to his doubters he encounters a crafty leopard with an evil plan. Fighting to overcome it and save the day, he befriends a wacky wildebeest and an outspoken ostrich.
